Re: MegaSTE repair

Thanks Frank. Being in Australia, Best is a daunting thought. I noticed Arne has some and there is always the funky adapter option too. I need to get some bits and pieces from the Exxos store anyway.

Re: MegaSTE repair

I've been dabbling with this on and off in between (a lot of) other projects and narrowed all the issues down. A mate gave me a few bits and bobs from his Atari horde last year.

Re: LarryL’s blog - creating an ATX version of the Phoenix H5

Cool. I will check that out. I'm part way through a ATX build atm and have been a bit sidetracked by a 2600jr build. Better get cracking before this comes to fruition.

If I had the time that was close to top of the wish list. Brilliant.

RTC might be a pretty important feature too. I think Kodak80 did design a PCB for the ATX board that might work too.

Re: 3 x Atari 400s on eBay possibly good parts...

I spotted these too, I don't have a 400 so it is bloody tempting. But, I have a few projects on the cook atm so sitting on the fence. If anyone in Victoria wants to split it, LMK.
